My body felt like concrete. Three cups of coffee in, and still nothing. The thoughts weren’t flowing, inspiration had vanished, and the goals I’d written down last month sat untouched in my journal. Something was blocked.
We talk about manifestation techniques constantly. Visualization, affirmations, gratitude practices – all the tools that shape our reality. But what we don’t discuss enough is what happens when the energy simply won’t move, no matter what techniques you use.
Energy blockages are real. They’re those invisible barriers that make manifestation feel like pushing a boulder uphill. And they show up physically too – in tension, fatigue, and that vague sense that something’s off.
Let’s get into the actual ways we can clear these stubborn energy blockages. Because our physical vitality directly impacts our manifestation power, whether we realize it or not.
What’s really happening when energy gets stuck?
Energy blockage isn’t some woo-woo concept. It’s what happens when our physical body, mental patterns, and emotional baggage create resistance to what we’re trying to manifest.
Think about how you feel after a fight with someone you care about. That heaviness in your chest? The distraction? The way your thoughts keep circling back? That’s blocked energy.
Or when you’ve been sitting at a desk for 10 hours and your shoulders are practically touching your ears from tension. Your body is literally holding physical resistance.
Our ancient ancestors understood this connection. They knew the body and spirit weren’t separate systems but completely intertwined. Energy flowing freely through our physical form means manifestation happens more naturally. Energy hitting roadblocks means our intentions struggle to materialize.
Now, I’m not saying you need to become a yoga master or meditation guru to manifest effectively. That’s not the point. The point is recognizing when your energy is blocked and having practical ways to get it moving again.
1. The weird breathing trick that clears energy blockages in 3 minutes
This technique comes from a practice I stumbled across last summer. It’s embarrassingly simple but works faster than anything else I’ve tried.
Find a quiet spot where no one will interrupt you. Sit comfortably and place one hand on your belly. Close your eyes and take five slow breaths, nothing special yet.
Then, breathe in for a count of 4, hold for 7 seconds (this part matters), and exhale forcefully through your mouth for 8 counts. The exhale should make a whooshing sound – yes, it’s awkward, but no one’s watching.
Repeat this 4-7-8 pattern four times. On the final exhale, visualize the specific energy blockage leaving your body completely.
The science behind this is fascinating. That 7-second hold creates a slight oxygen deprivation that triggers the parasympathetic nervous system. Your body releases tension it didn’t even know it was holding. Energy blockages start dissolving almost instantly.
I’ve used this before important calls, when feeling stuck on a project, or when manifestation efforts seem to hit a wall. Works every single time.
Physical movement breaks the dam
We spend so much time in our heads that we forget we have bodies. Seems obvious, right? But many of us try to manifest solely through mental practices while completely ignoring our physical vessels.
Energy blockages often lodge in the physical body first, then affect our mental state. The solution? Move differently than you normally do.
This isn’t about formal exercise (though that helps). It’s about disruptive movement patterns that shake things loose.
Some quick ways to physically clear energy blockages:
– Stand up right now and shake your entire body vigorously for 30 seconds. Looks ridiculous. Works wonders. – Try body tapping – using your fingertips to literally tap/drum on your chest, shoulders, arms and legs for 2 minutes. – Dance to one song, but move in ways you’d never normally move (this is why no one should be watching). – Go outside and walk barefoot on grass or soil for 5 minutes. The direct earth connection pulls stagnant energy downward and out.
Dr. Candace Pert’s research showed that emotions aren’t just in the brain – they’re stored throughout the body as neuropeptides. Physical movement helps process and release these stored emotions, clearing the path for manifestation.
Removing energy blockages through water (and why showers aren’t enough)
Water has been used in energy clearing practices across virtually every culture throughout history. It’s not coincidental.
Water molecules are highly receptive to energy and intention. They can both absorb negative energy and be charged with positive energy.
A regular shower helps, but it’s not optimized for clearing energy blockages. Here’s a more effective water ritual:
Add 2 cups of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) to your bath. If you don’t have a tub, mix 1/4 cup salt in warm water and use as a scrub in the shower. As you soak or scrub, mentally direct the water to pull energy blockages from your body. Visualize dark or cloudy energy dissolving into the water.
Before draining, say something simple like, “I release all energy that no longer serves my highest purpose.” It might feel silly the first time, but the intention matters.
One client tried this before an important interview after weeks of manifestation work that wasn’t yielding results. The next day, she got the call with an offer for her dream position. Coincidence? Maybe. But I’ve seen this pattern repeat too many times.
Are your surroundings creating energy blockages?
Look around you right now. What do you see? Clutter? Unfinished projects? Items that remind you of past failures?
Your physical environment is constantly feeding your energy field. A chaotic, cluttered space creates chaotic, cluttered energy – making manifestation much harder.
The fastest environmental fix for energy blockages is the 15-minute sweep: Set a timer for 15 minutes. Move through your primary living or working space and remove anything that: – Is broken – Reminds you of something negative – Hasn’t been used in a year – Creates a feeling of guilt or obligation
You don’t need to become a minimalist overnight. Even clearing one surface can create a shift in energy flow.
Most people underestimate how much physical objects affect their manifestation ability. That stack of unpaid bills? Energy block. The gift from an ex you keep meaning to return? Energy block. The exercise equipment you never use? Yep, another block.
Clear the space, clear the energy.
Sound vibration – the overlooked energy blockage clearer
Sound waves physically move molecules. This isn’t metaphysical – it’s physics. And you can use this principle to break up energy blockages in and around your body.
The simplest sound clearing technique uses your own voice. Find a private space and make a sustained “Ohhhmm” sound, allowing the vibration to resonate in your chest. Then move to a slightly higher pitch “Ahhh” that resonates in your throat. Finally, make an “Eeee” sound that vibrates in your head.
Sounds weird? Absolutely. But the vibration physically disrupts stagnant energy patterns. It’s like using sound waves to break up ice.
If you’re not ready to use your own voice, use music with strong bass or percussion. Feel the vibrations move through your body as you listen.
One client who struggled with manifesting financial abundance had a breakthrough after using sound clearing for just one week. The energy blockage that had been preventing money flow was finally disrupted.
Small shifts that create big results
Clearing energy blockages isn’t about massive life overhauls. It’s about consistent small practices that keep your energy flowing freely.
Start with just one of these techniques. Practice it daily for a week and notice what shifts in your manifestation results. Then add another.
The mind-body connection isn’t just a nice theory – it’s the foundation of effective manifestation. When your physical energy flows freely, your intentions move into reality with much less resistance.
Remember what Napoleon Hill taught us – the body and mind are inseparable partners in creation. By clearing energy blockages in our physical form, we’re actually clearing the path for our thoughts to become things.
So which technique will you try first? The one that feels most doable is always the right place to start.
